SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
One objective of this Starter Kit is to demonstrate a two way communication between two radio
modules, but also to evaluate the SEMTECH transceiver SX1211. In order to have a high flexibility,
the Starter Kit board has been developed in order to support all the SX1211 RF modules and so few
buttons have been added to the board (see Figure 3.1).
The Board description is following:
